Titanium animals a historical record

Tuesday, April 01, 2008

I find the rapid changes that I have seen in my short life on this planet a bit much. We have a huge potential for positive and hopeful outcomes for everyone and also a very big possibility to stuff it all up! I hope to encourage every one to consider their environmental impact much more.
Through my work I hope to help us to value our diverse animal friends. Each of us as individuals is having an impact in our own back yard. I depict animals mostly, they are in titanium which is a long term material reminder of our impact. My titanium jewelry will survive a house fire where all else melts. I see these pieces as a type of historical record for future generations.
Take care
Philip

titanium ear wire bending

Saturday, March 29, 2008

Here is the bending of my titanium earwires that I do regularly. I usually do 50-70 pair every 4 days. it takes a few days for my fingers to recover! I use commercially pure grade 2 titanium. These wires give my Titanium Jewelery an allergy free quality. The stock wires I use are cut to length and have both ends deburred and rounded. They are later colored to match the piece they are fitted to.
